Non-chlorophyll cacti. They have bright color: red, yellow, orange, and others. They are grafted on some other cacti.
Non-chlorophyll cacti can not grow on their own roots because they can not assimilate nutrients. To survive the non-chlorophyll cactus need to be grafted on other cactus that will supply it with all necessary nutrients. It was discovered that these beautiful seedlings could not survive as they did not have "chlorophyll" and were therefore incapable of producing the necessary chemical changes involved in photosynthesis for the production of the "food" for the plant to grow and thrive. It was determined that if these tiny seedlings were "grafted" (an actual physical union of the vascular of the two plants) onto fast growing plants such as Hylocereus, that the "base" plant could provide the necessary chlorophyll for the "upper" plant (in this case the Chamaecereus seedling lacking in chlorophyll) to thrive.

When the sciens is young, it can grow also very fast. When the skin become harder, it could not more grow and get cracks. It could lead to rot.

It produces offsets easily and makes new grafting material plentiful.
